Personally I don't like that method. Try this one, have yet to find anyone that had problems with this:http://rootyourdroid.info/guides/obtaining-root/
It will also walk you through all the other important stuff (backups, busybox, OCing ect.).

I don't use terminal, however what you can do is try to access root via adb. If you have that installed, simply run the adb shell and type in "su". Then look at the screen on your phone, you should be prompted with a permissions prompt.
